Ochòin a ri ri ò rò |
Ochoin a ri ri o ro |
Ochòin a ri ri ò rò |
Ochoin a ri ri o ro |
Ochòin a ri ri ò rò |
Ochoin a ri ri o ro |
O rò 's cian on dh'fhalbh sinn |
O ro it's a very long time since we left |
|
|
Tacan mun do ghluais sinn |
Shortly before we moved |
Dh'èirich gealach ghruamach |
A surly moon came up |
Baidealach, trom, uaine |
Turreted, heavy, green |
'S i buairte gu soirbheas |
And the weather was turbulent |
|
|
Nuair a rinn sinn sèoladh |
When we sailed |
Dhùin gu dlùth na neòil oirnn |
The clouds closed in thickly on us |
Chan fhaiceamaid ach ceòban |
We could only see white mist |
Le còbhragach na fairge |
With the spray of the ocean |
|
|
A'dol troimh Chuan na h-Eireann |
Sailing through the Irish Sea |
Sruth is muir a' streup ruinn |
Currents and high seas struggled against us |
Is truagh nach robh mi 's m'eudail |
It is a pity that my darling and myself |
Le chèil am Port na h-Aibhinne |
Were not together in Portnahaven |
|
|
Ochòin a ri ri ò rò |
Ochoin a ri ri o ro |
Ochòin a ri ri ò rò |
Ochoin a ri ri o ro |
Ochòin a ri ri ò rò |
Ochoin a ri ri o ro |
O rò 's cian on dh'fhalbh sinn |
O ro it's a very long time since we left |
